There are 2 others in the area, both look like junk shops with stuff everywhere. and a staff that tries to make you feel inferior to them. Example looking for an 18% gray card, the guy tells me they sell very few of them, no one that knows what they are doing uses them Then tried to charge me $19.00 for one. I never went back.
World of Photography (used to be World of Used Photography), Columbus OH. I stop there everytime I pass through town.
Service Photo, Baltimore MD. Great little shop, would like it more if they carried Panasonic/Olympus. But I get most of my Nikon gear from them, and a lot of studio gear as well.
Ace Photo, Ashburn VA (near Washington DC). Largest shop in the area, I get some good stuff for the studio and they have some great rental gear.
Precision Camera in Austin. HUGE!

I'm initiating this thread with the hopes of accumulating a list of outstanding camera stores throughout the country. We are all aware of the great camera stores in New York, but there are still those hangers-on throughout the country that will let you test lenses right out of the box as well as rent lenses. In the Dallas area it's Arlington Camera in Arlington, TX....almost under the shadows of Jerry Jones Stadium and the Ranger Ballfield as well. I'll post the link to their website. If you have a camera store you'd like to post, please do so. Perhaps when they've all been posted a new thread could be compiled with a state by state listing.

Happy to report that in the Reno NV area we have TWP pro shops.
Gordon's Photo Service has been a long time mainstay in Reno and Carson City. NV. Recently, however sadly, when I googled Gordon's to confirm the URL, I saw the notice that they were closing this month, it did not say the status of their Carson City operation.
Action Camera with 2 stores in Roseville CA, near Sacramento has opened a new and well staffed store in Reno, NV. I have used both stores and my most recent purchases have been at Action. Great folks and they follow "street" prices. From my research, there is not a price appreciable price advantage for shopping on the Internet--beyond the Benefits those great retailers provide. I prefer the local touch.
